New editions of packs were release a few weeks back  
Pepl (v2.3) - parameter estimation and  
Bims (v3.0) - Bayesian inference of Model Structure

These include predicates for probabilistic inference and sampling in boths packs.

There is a workshop paper describing the new predicates:  
Sampling and probabilistic inference in D/Slps.
